After twelve years in prison, Walter arrives in an unnamed city, moves into a small apartment across the street from an elementary school, gets a job at a lumberyard, and mostly keeps to himself. A quiet, guarded man, Walter finds unexpected solace from Vickie, a tough-talking woman who promises not to judge him for his history. But Walter cannot escape his past. A convicted sex offender, Walter is warily eyed by his brother-in-law, shunned by his sister, lives in fear of being discovered at work, and is hounded by a suspicious local police officer, Detective Lucas. After befriending a young girl in a neighborhood park, Walter must also grapple with the terrible prospect of his own reawakened demons.
Leave your thoughts about The Woodsman.
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea ChaseEmotionally challenging and ferociously unforgiving, it is an astonishing work of surprising delicacy played out with the rawest of emotion simmering just beneath the surface |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe Woodsman is one of the best films of the year with its aim of testing the limits of our empathy and compassion. |
| TimeRichard SchickelIt is among the best and most delicately managed films of the year. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffBacon's performance, probably the best this underrated pro has delivered, is just about the only reason to see The Woodsman. |
| Los Angeles AlternativeJay AntaniBacon's Walter is a searing creation...breaking through the The Woodsman's well-behaved exterior to reveal something of the...untrodden depths churning at its heart. |
| Film Journal InternationalRichard James HavisA powerful drama about a disturbed mind seen from a relatively objective viewpoint. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesA chilling and compelling journey into a tormented mind, with an Oscar-caliber performance by Kevin Bacon. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA tense, psychological study that will have its audience silently praying that Walter will not revert to his old child molesting ways.- |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderA character who is doomed from the start because of his own actions is difficult to support, and a film about him is bound to feel oppressively dark. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelPhoebe FlowersBacon is fearless as a man who only wants to know, in his own words, when he will be normal. |
